Kansas Attorney General resigns. Guess which party he belongs to! Updated

Attorney General Paul Morrison will resign next month, he announced this afternoon.

Standing outside his office, Morrison said the scandal that began Sunday led many to stop believing in him. He said he was resigning, effective Jan. 31, to preserve the public confidence in the office of attorney general.

Calls for Morrison’s resignation built this week after news of his two-year affair with a former employee surfaced, along with allegations that he harassed the woman and tried to use her to meddle in the Johnson County District Attorney’s office, now headed by Phill Kline.

Read the whole thing. Do a word search on it. Finding the party of a politician resigning in disgrace shouldn’t be a scavenger hunt, but where one party is concerned it usually is.

Once you’ve satisfied yourself that his party affiliation isn’t anywhere in that story, go here to find out which party he’s from. I bet it took you one guess to get there without the link.

Update: Heh–

I called David Klepper [the KC Star reporter who wrote this story], identifying myself and the radio station [where he works], followed by an inquiry as to Kansas Attorney General Paul Morrison’s party affiliation.

He paused and I could hear papers shuffling in the background as if he were LOOKING IT UP.

Sounds like the Star’s pretty liberal.

It ain’t called the KC (red) Star, fer nothing.

What’s frustrating is that the former Kansas AG, phil kline, lost a very nasty election to ‘squeeky clean, law-n-order’ paul morrison last year. The KC (red) Star HATES phil kline, and made no bones about it. Did I mention it was a very nasty election?

The fact that the KC (red) Star makes no mention of Mr. Morrison’s DEMOCRATIC PARTY affiliation goes with the territory.

Frozen Tex:It’s from the movie “Life of Brian”,somewhere
in the movie,they mention different groups,
and political factions,it stuck in my mind
ever since.hehe

Yes, I know where it’s from, that’s where my question came from. The Suicide Squad shows up to rescue Brian, but their only plan and tactic consists of committing suicide in front of him, complete with breastplates with doors over their hearts, which they open, then stab themselves in the heart.

KC Star par for the course. If it was a Republican…you bet it’d be mentioned, and it’s sad that our media has sunk to this point.
But on the flip side…he’s in office now, what does it matter what party he’s with. That’s what gets me about politics nowadays…the office shouldn’t be affiliated with any party.
This youtube video doesn’t mention his party…

In all fairness, if the Star is a paper based in Kansas City, Kansas, then it’s a little less egregious. I’ve read stories in the Houston Chronicle before about Rick Perry that don’t ever mention the fact that he’s a Republican.

You’ll have to guess, because the Kansas City Star doesn’t tell you. At all. In a 10-paragraph story about his resignation.

This is just absolutely stupid on their part since this has been such a big story in Kansas for so long.

But then the bias really begins in this sloppy article:

He said he was resigning, effective Jan. 31, to preserve the public confidence in the office of attorney general.

Calls for Morrison’s resignation built this week after news of his two-year affair with a former employee surfaced, along with allegations that he harassed the woman and tried to use her to meddle in the Johnson County District Attorney’s office, now headed by Phill Kline.

I followed this story at WND since it first started some time ago with Kline as the KS AG, and what the surrendercrats were doing to protect Tiller. Kline loses, Morrison is in. Kline appointed a Special Prosecutor before he left as AG, and Morrison fired the SP his first day in office. After the public outcry, Morrison tried filing watered-down charges.

Kline was appointed to Johnson County AG after he lost the State AG race to Morrison…the same jurisdiction as Tiller. Kline recently filed over 100 charges against Tiller.

Morrison was having sex with a woman who worked in Klines office and pumping (no pun intended) her for information on the case against Tiller. The affair went on from 2005 to 2007.

So Morrison resigns in disgrace because of the affair, good, bye, gone. But how did he get caught? Because, like a typical democrat, he was so filled with vengeance toward Kline that he couldn’t take his AG job and run. No, he had to keep going after Kline until the whole thing blew up in his face. HaHa, see ya loser.

He and the rest of the surrendercrat party in Kansas had no choice. When Kline left office, he was appointed as the Johnson County DA…where Tiller committed his alleged crimes.

Kline picked up where he left off…filing charges against Tiller that he tried to pursue as State AG. The same charges that Morrison dismissed so quickly. Having Tiller convicted would have meant the misnamed Planned Parenthood money pit would have dried up for the ‘crats.

I’m not surprised that our local birdcage liner The Kansas City Star (Motto: “All the news that fits, we print”) omitted the party affiliation. We Kansans knew something sleazy was going on when Morrison changed his party affiliation from “Republican” “Moderate” to “Democrat”.

They also failed to mention that Morrison’s major political support and financing came from the abortion industry centered in Wichita.
